Let’s be honest: motherhood is equal parts miracle and mayhem. It’s waking up before the sun, packing lunches that will be only half-eaten, refereeing sibling showdowns, replying to emails in parking lots, and trying to remember if you actually washed your hair or just sprayed more dry shampoo and prayed for volume. Somewhere between the coffee mug that went cold three hours ago and the pile of laundry that seems to multiply overnight, there’s a moment when you think: I just need something…something that fuels me without making me feel like I’m surviving on caffeine and crumbs.
That’s when I stumbled upon Momsanity—a brand that sounded suspiciously like my life in one word. Founded by two powerhouse moms, Emily Saunders and Debbie Basiden, Momsanity isn’t your typical “fit-mom” protein brand plastered with six-pack promises and impossible perfection. No. These are real women who’ve lived the glorious, messy, magnificent storm of motherhood, and decided to create something that actually works for moms like us.
Their mission? To fuel motherhood with faith, fitness, and nutrition—in a way that’s real, affordable, and delicious. I’ll admit, I was skeptical. I’ve tried “clean” protein powders that tasted like damp cardboard and “healthy cocoa drinks” that made me miss actual chocolate more than ever. But when I tried their Mom Fuel and Crave, something clicked. And by “something,” I mean my energy levels, my mood, and my general ability to function like a semi-put-together human.
Let’s talk about it, the day Mom Fuel saved me from meltdown number six and how Crave turned my late-night snack chaos into a calm, chocolatey ritual of joy.
The Morning That Tested My Soul (and My Sanity)
It started, as many motherhood stories do, with spilled cereal and missing shoes. The house was in full Monday morning mode: the toddler wanted to wear pajama pants to daycare, the older one was trying to convince me that brushing teeth “hurts,” and the dog decided the best moment to throw up was right before we left. My coffee? Cold. My breakfast? Nonexistent. My patience? Hanging by a thread thinner than dental floss.
I opened the pantry and saw the sleek tub of Mom Fuel Protein and Collagen Powder, a gift from a friend who swore it “changed her mornings.” I figured, why not? It couldn’t possibly make the day worse.
I tossed a scoop of the Creamy Vanilla flavor into my blender with some almond milk and frozen banana, hit blend, and prayed for something that didn’t taste like chalk. The first sip stopped me mid-chaos. It was actually good. Smooth, lightly sweet, and just indulgent enough to make me feel like I’d snuck in a milkshake before school drop-off.
I sipped it on the way out the door, and halfway through the carpool line, something wild happened, I didn’t feel like I was running on fumes. My energy was steady. My mood? Surprisingly pleasant. My kids even noticed. “Mom, you’re not yelling today,” my daughter said with genuine wonder. “Did you sleep more?”
No, sweetheart. Mom just found her sanity in a scoop of plant protein and collagen.
The Science of Staying Sane (and Strong)
Now, I’m not one to geek out on nutrition labels, but let me tell you: this stuff is smart. Mom Fuel combines brown rice protein and pea protein, two plant-based powerhouses that give you all the essential amino acids your muscles need. Add in collagen, and you’ve got the secret weapon for strength, recovery, and that elusive healthy glow that no amount of concealer can fake.
Each serving packs 20 grams of clean, sustainable protein, free of artificial additives. Translation: no weird aftertaste, no crash, and no stomach rebellion halfway through the day.
My favorite part? It’s versatile. I’ve stirred the Dutch Chocolate flavor into my morning coffee for a mocha boost that makes me feel like a barista-mom hybrid. I’ve blended Strawberry with frozen mango for an after-school snack my kids actually fight over. And when I’m running late (read: every weekday), I just shake it up with water, and it still tastes amazing.
One mom in their online community said, “It’s my go-to when the day’s already a marathon.” I get that now. Some days, motherhood really is a marathon. Except you don’t get a medal—you get finger paint on your sweater and someone asking for a snack five minutes after lunch.
Afternoon Slump, Meet Crave
Fast-forward to 3 p.m., the sacred hour when all my willpower packs up and leaves. The kids are home, the house smells faintly of crayons and stress, and my brain starts whispering the word “cookies” like it’s a spiritual calling.
This is where Crave steps in like a calm, chocolate-scented hero.
Crave isn’t your average “hot cocoa mix.” It’s a blend of rich cocoa powder, MCT oil powder, and natural sweeteners, designed to help you stay focused, full, and satisfied without the sugar crash. When I first made it, I expected it to taste “healthy”, that dreaded code word for sad chocolate substitute. Instead, it was rich, smooth, and genuinely decadent. Like hot chocolate for grown-ups who have bills, deadlines, and snack-greedy children.
I’ve had it both ways, stirred into hot water for a soothing treat while answering emails, and shaken over ice with almond milk for a cool afternoon pick-me-up. It’s indulgent without guilt, and satisfying enough that I don’t end up raiding the kids’ snack drawer at 8 p.m.
One mom said, “Crave saves me from raiding the kids’ snack stash,” and honestly, I felt that in my bones.
Real Moms, Real Energy
What I love most about Momsanity isn’t just the products, it’s the heart behind them. Emily and Debbie didn’t just wake up one day and say, “Let’s make protein powder.” They’re moms who were tired—tired of the overwhelm, tired of the crash-and-burn cycle, and tired of products that didn’t actually support women’s real lives.
They built Momsanity on four pillars: motherhood, faith, fitness, and nutrition. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being present. They infuse every product with intention and transparency, keeping ingredients clean, budgets in mind, and flavor front and center.
Their faith-driven approach also adds something refreshingly grounded to the brand. Scroll through their Instagram (@momsanitysisters), and you’ll find not just recipes and fitness tips, but genuine encouragement for moms to give themselves grace. That’s rare in a wellness world that often screams “do more.” Momsanity whispers, “You’re doing great. Here’s something to help you keep going.”
The Electrolyte and BCAA Lifesavers
Let’s not forget the supporting cast. Momsanity also makes Electrolyte Powder—a refreshing blend with pink Himalayan salt, potassium, and magnesium. Perfect for days when you’re sweating through errands, workouts, or just the mental Olympics of parenting. I tried the citrus flavor, and it honestly felt like a little vacation in a bottle. No fake sweetness, no sticky aftertaste, just clean hydration that makes you want to keep sipping.
Then there’s their Natural BCAA Blend, available in Orange Crush, Cherry Lime, and Raspberry Lemonade. These aren’t your typical neon sports drinks. They’re naturally sweetened, fruity, and incredibly effective for muscle recovery, focus, and stamina. I tried Cherry Lime and found myself looking forward to my evening walk (which used to feel like a chore sandwiched between homework help and bedtime chaos). Now it’s my unwind ritual, a little “me time” that tastes like summer.
One mom described it perfectly: “The Cherry Lime keeps me clear-headed and energized.” That’s not marketing fluff, it’s real.
Why Momsanity Works
The genius of Momsanity lies in its understanding that moms don’t need complicated solutions. We need simple, effective, tasty things that fit into our lives without creating more chaos.
It’s clean. No artificial junk, no weird fillers, no questionable ingredients you have to Google.
It’s flexible. Whether you’re blending, stirring, shaking, or sneaking a sip while hiding in the bathroom (no judgment), it works.
It’s mom-designed. Every product was made with busy women in mind, tested by real moms who understand that sometimes breakfast happens in the car and self-care is just five minutes of quiet.
It’s budget-conscious. They keep it affordable without compromising quality, which is no small feat in the wellness world.
And honestly, it just feels good to support a brand that celebrates motherhood instead of selling guilt or unrealistic expectations. Momsanity says, “You’re already amazing, here’s something to help you feel even better.”
My Daily Routine (a.k.a. Operation Keep Mom Upright)
Morning: Mom Fuel + almond milk + banana + a dash of peanut butter. Instant breakfast. Feels like a treat. Keeps me full till lunch.
Afternoon: Crave shaken with ice and almond milk. Perfect for those “I need chocolate or I’ll cry” moments.
Evening: Cherry Lime BCAA for recovery after my brisk walk or yoga session (sometimes “yoga” is just stretching while watching Netflix, but it still counts).
On-the-go: Electrolyte Powder in my water bottle during errands. Keeps me from feeling sluggish or snacky.
This simple routine has quietly revolutionized my days. My energy is more consistent, my focus sharper, and my chocolate cravings satisfyingly managed. And while I still have chaotic mornings and cereal spills, I’m showing up more grounded, and dare I say, happier.
The Momsanity Mindset
At its core, Momsanity is about more than nutrition, it’s about community. It’s about believing that strong moms build strong families. It’s about faith that fuels you when coffee can’t. It’s about choosing to thrive, even in the chaos.
Emily and Debbie often say, “We’re not just selling supplements; we’re fueling motherhood.” And after trying these products, I believe it. Momsanity isn’t here to give you abs (though hey, bonus if that happens). It’s here to remind you that you’re capable, powerful, and worthy of feeling good.
Here’s to every mom who’s ever reheated her coffee three times, who’s tried to squeeze a workout between homework and bedtime, who’s poured herself into everyone else and forgotten to refill her own tank. Here’s to finding your Momsanity, one scoop at a time.
